Oregon health exchange technology troubles run deep due to mismanagement!!

"Shut it down," said Rocky King, Cover Oregon's executive director. "Let's not waste anybody else's time here." OHA's advisors said a systems integrator was necessary. "The state does not have the development resources with the requisite experience," consulting firms Wakely Consulting Group and KPMG wrote in a joint March 2011 report. They added that the integrator could lead to "significantly lower" overall costs. In July 2011, OHA was poised to follow that advice. It solicited a systems integrator to oversee the exchange work. But that month Oregon Health Authority Director Bruce Goldberg hired Carolyn Lawson to become chief technical officer of OHA. Four months into the two-year exchange project, Lawson changed its entire makeup. She launched a sweeping reorganization of the team working on it, and canceled the solicitation for a systems integrator deciding it would save the state money, documents show. The state would be its own systems integrator.

Just off the phone. A Cover Oregon employee who does 10 hour days locked out of computer all day required to stay.

Despite initially denying the existence of the Confidentiality Agreement, the government actors at the Oregon Health Authority have moved into dangerous territory by requiring, as a condition of obtaining taxpayer grants, that a grantee refrain from making"any false, misleading, deceptive, libelous, defamatory, or obscene statements, written or oral,” about a private-sector company doing business with the state. This issue would not be as troublesome if Oregon Insurance Exchange LLC dba Cover Oregon required its private sector contractors to refrain from disparaging its goods, services or products. The State of Oregon, by and through its Oregon Health Authority, is running interference for Oregon Insurance Exchange LLC dba Cover Oregon by requiring current or potential grantees receiving or seeking taxpayer money to refrain from disparaging Cover Oregon, a private sector business. This is probably not the best example of a"public-private” partnership.

Cover Oregon Cover Up!!

In September of this year, Rocky King, then Executive Director of Cover Oregon, warned state legislators at a joint committee that the planned October 1 roll-out of the program would not go as planned."It’s not going to be a beautiful implementation,” confessed King, in what should earn King the"Understatement of the Year” award. Indeed, the implementation of Cover Oregon has been an unmitigated disaster, despite $300 million of federal tax dollars poured into the program.
